Michael B. Jordan, John Turturro Set for Free Reading of Spike Lee's DO THE RIGHT THING Tonight

The Film Society of Lincoln Center turned to Twitter to announce a free public reading of Spike Lee's script of DO THE RIGHT THING at 7pm in the Amphitheater of the Film Center (144 West 65th Street), featuring Michael B. Jordan (Fruitvale Station) and John Turturro:

"@SpikeLee's Do The Right Thing ft @michaelb4jordan at @FilmLinc http://bit.ly/1rn24TL RT! Michael B Jordan, John Turturro, Melonie Diaz and 7 others."

They went on to announce that free tickets will be distributed at the box office at 6pm and are first-come, first-served.

The 1989 comedy-drama was produced, written, and directed by Spike Lee, who also played the part of Mookie in the film. Other members of the cast included Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Richard Edson, Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Nunn, John Turturro, and Samuel L. Jackson. It is also notably the feature film debut of both Martin Lawrence and Rosie Perez. The movie tells the story of a neighborhood's simmering racial tension, which comes to a head and culminates in tragedy on the hottest day of summer.

The film was a commercial success and received numerous accolades and awards, including an Academy Award nomination for Lee for Best Original Screenplay and one for Best Supporting Actor for Aiello's portrayal of Sal the pizzeria owner. It is often listed among the greatest films of all time. In 1999, it was deemed to be "culturally significant" by the U.S. Library of Congress, and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry, one of just five films to have this honor in their first year of eligibility.
